The metric conversions are wrong.

parking spot space vs parking lot space per parking spot

[edit]

I took out the following sentenct, after the claim that parking spaces are on average 160ft: "Note that this area includes the area for parking space plus the circulation areas, end of aisle areas/landscaping." I couldn't find that claim in the source, and at the same time it doesn't make sense - the 160ft is in between the given common parking space sizes. Just looking at the image it is easy to see that just the space for circulation is about the same as the parking spot itself - the numbers don't work out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.58.43.246 (talk) 16:48, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Parking "stall" equals parking "space?"

[edit]

I'm trying to figure out what a law is trying to tell me about parking my motorcycle in a city/state I plan to move to (Atlanta, GA to San Diego, CA) so I need to know what a "parking stall" is. The best I can figure is that it is the same thing as a "parking space" but, in my searches online, I can't find anyone equating them or otherwise defining them even though "parking stall" and "stall lines" are used in many legal definitions. "Parking stall" doesn't redirect here and the article only references "stalls" once ("some stalls" seems synonymous with "some spaces" but I must be sure). I expect that is it just a regional difference but I have never heard a space referred to as a "stall" before I encountered it in the law and began my search today.76.88.87.170 (talk) 18:47, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article references an illustration of a parking lot in Switzerland that is not visible on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.253.234 (talk) 23:45, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Parking blocks" should be somewhere in Wikipedia, this is probably the best place.

[edit]

I looked so hard to find "parking blocks"! I'm obsessed with learning the words for common items that nobody knows the proper names of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.148.187.2 (talk) 00:43, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
